96: What is the difference between GNU Emacs and Lucid GNU Emacs? + + This information is condensed from the release notice: + + Lucid GNU Emacs is based on an early version of GNU Emacs version 19 + with many enhancements. It currently requires X Windows to run. For + information on where to get Lucid GNU Emacs see 123. X Windows support + is greatly enhanced over GNU Emacs version 18, including support for + multiple X Windows (a.k.a. screens in Emacs), Zmacs/Lispm style region + highlighting, a customizable, Motif-like menubar, more powerful keymap + support (allowing different actions to be associated with Backspace, + Control-h, etc.), flexible text attribute (e.g. font, color) support on + regional and screen-local basis through X resources and/or lisp, and + support for the X11 selection mechanism. Some other features include + run-time computation of the load-path, support for floating point + numbers, native timer support, and sound file support on Sun + SPARCstations. To build Lucid GNU Emacs, an ANSI C compiler (e.g. gcc) + is required. +
